Abstract
Abstract Solutions of N-vinylpyrrolidone polymers can be prepared with particular advantage by polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone in an aqueous medium by adding the polymerization catalyst in portions or continuously to the monomer solution in the form of a finely divided suspension in an aqueous solution of Nvinylpyrrolidone polymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
31 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 in which the aqueous solution of the monomer is heated to 60* to 150*C and then the suspension of the polymerization catalyst is introduced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process for the production of an aqueous solution of poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone by polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone in an aqueous solution at a temperature of from 60* to 120* C., which process comprises heating an aqueous solution of N-vinylpyrrolidone to a temperature of from 60* to 120*C. and then supplying continuously from 0.01 to 3 percent by weight (based on the amount of N-vinylpyrrolidone) of a water-insoluble polymerization catalyst forming free radicals in the form of a finely divided 10 to 30 percent by weight suspension in an aqueous 5 to 15 percent by weight solution of a poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone having a K value in aqueous solution of from 80 to 120.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
140 words
A process for the production of an aqueous solutIon of poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone by polymerizing N-vinylpyrrolidone in an aqueous medium at a temperature of from 60* to 120*C., which process comprises heating an aqueous N-vinylpyrrolidone solution to a temperature of 60* to 120*C. and then supplying 0.01 to 3 percent by weight, based on the amount of N-vinylpyrrolidone, of a water-insoluble polymerization catalyst forming a free radicals in the form of a finely divided 10 to 30 percent by weight suspension in an aqueous 5 to 15 percent by weight solution of poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone having a K value in aqueous solution of from 80 to 120 by first adding from 5 to 20 percent by weight of the total amount of catalyst and then adding the remainder of the polymerization catalyst during the polymerization in one to ten portions to the polymerization mixture.
